Money, as Lisa Minnelli and Joel Grey sing in the movie Cabaret, "makes the world go around". Since gold coins emerged in Turkey over 2500 years ago, money as a measure and store of value and medium of exchange has been crucial for economic and social development.Commerce relies on the ability of strangers to transact over time and distance, and money allows them to do so. The forms of money have changed along with technology. Coins valued on their precious metal content were replaced by symbolic base metal and complemented by intrinsically worthless notes made of paper. As the information technology revolution progressed, and especially since credit cards were introduced in the 1960s, financial dealings have become increasingly virtual (Ferguson 2012). Cash accounts for only 7 per cent of the USA's economic transactions. Trades, loans and purchases are increasingly being undertaken digitally. Capgemini estimated 57 billion credit card transactions were undertaken in 2012. 1 A new technology, digital money, has emerged as a medium of exchange and a measure and store of value in electronic form. It is used in the commercial transactions of goods and services in a highly connected world where trade is increasingly globalized and where the majority of the world's population is becoming urbanized. Digital money has been facilitated by use of technologies such as mobile phones, cloud computing, data analytics, encryption and storage and near field communication technology. Diffusion of these technologies is likely to accelerate the virtuality of transactions, and hence their scale and scope, lubricating frictions in the financial system to make "the world go around" more quickly and extensively.Digital money dematerializes by moving everyday economic transactions -payments, transfers, receipts -from the physical to the digital world. Although its progress will be evolutionary as the technology and its social and economic influences interact, it is potentially a
Today, everything is sold online, and many individuals can post reviews about different products to show feedback. Serves as feedback for businesses regarding buyer reviews, performance, product quality, and seller service. The project focuses on buyer opinions based on Mobile Phone reviews. Sentiment analysis is the function of analyzing all these data, obtaining opinions about these products and services that classify them as positive, negative, or neutral. This insight can help companies improve their products and help potential buyers make the right decisions. Once the preprocessing is classified on a trained dataset, these reviews must be preprocessed to remove unwanted data such as stop words, verbs, pos tagging, punctuation, and attachments. Many techniques are present to perform such tasks, but in this article, we will use a model that will use different inspection machine techniques.
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) usually presents as acute or chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients. A 49-year-old woman presented with left lower limb DVT, which was followed by a diagnosis of MTS on a background of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism. MTS is more common among women in the second to fourth decades of life. An endovascular approach is the preferred first-line treatment for MTS.
Objective: Objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of standard and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treating staghorn stones Methodology: From July 2017 to June 2019, In Institute Of Kidney Diseases (PGMI) Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar a tertiary care hospital we conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine the stone-free rate for patients with staghorn stones (Total duration of the study was 2 years). The trial included 150 patients separated into two groups: one that received standard- and mini-PCNL surgeries. Each patient was randomly assigned to undergo one of the two procedures, with 50% receiving standard PCNL and the other 50% mini-PCNL. Durations of surgical procedures, length of hospital stay, complications, and pain levels were all measured during the study. Result: 150 patients with a mean age of 51.2 years (range, 18-85 years) were included in this research. 88% of the participants were men and 16% were women. Success rates for standard PCNL and mini-PCNL were 97.3% and 90.7%, respectively (p=0.04). Additionally, compared to the standard-PCNL group (105.3 minutes and 3.3 days, respectively), the mini-PCNL group had a considerably reduced mean operation time (80.2 minutes) and a shorter mean hospital stay (2.2 days) (p 0.001). Standard PCNL also had a higher overall complication rate than mini-PCNL (26% vs. 13%, p = 0.038). In addition, the mini-PCNL group had considerably less postoperative discomfort (p 0.001). Conclusion: When controlling staghorn stones, Mini-PCNL has shown to be a reliable and safe solution that offers a number of benefits over conventional Standard-PCNL. Mini-PCNL clearly outperforms standard PCNL in terms of lowering postoperative pain, hospital stays, and operating room time. As a result, Mini-PCNL is gradually becoming into the preferred operational strategy for effectively controlling staghorn stones. Keywords: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, staghorn stones, stone-free rate, surgical time, hospital stay, complications, postoperative discomfort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
